Schools across the World to be Linked by Livestreaming on International Day of Peace
un article par David Adams
For the third consecutive year, schools across the
world will be linked by livestreaming on September
21, the International Day of Peace. This is an
initiative of the
International Association of Peace Messenger
Cities. The organization was created in 1986
"to recognize and encourage the role and
responsibility cities have in creating a culture
of peace."

Concerning the participating cities, It is not by
accident that Hiroshima is the home city of Mayors
for Peace, which was established in 1982 to ensure
that there would never again be the nuclear
destruction of a city and which now counts over
5,000 member cities around the world. Nor is it
by accident that the two cities in the USA are the
only cities in that country with official municipal peace
commissions.
